Dunsmuir Fuels Mitigation Project Participants! for those of you who agreed to participate in our Fuels Mitigation Project.
We are required to complete archaeology field surveys as part of the CEQA (California Environmental Quality Act). The CEQA activities have been underway with our contractor Vestra and now it’s time to begin the archeology field surveys. These will be starting on Monday, September 25 and will continue throughout the week. The archeological inventory for the project will be conducted by Alta Archaeological Consulting (ALTA). The survey is designed to meet the requirements of CEQA, and will include background research, Native American outreach, and field surveys.
During the week of September 25th you might see Alta’s surveyors walking around. They will not collect any objects, will not mark anything or cut any trees. The surveyors may take photos, measurements and digital map data of historical resources for our final report.
Thank you for signing up to participate.
Best,
Dunsmuir Fire Safe Committee

Funding for Digital Broadband - Just 3 surveys completed for Siskiyou County!
Under the Bipartisan Infrastructure Act, $62 billion was allocated for broadband investment across the United States. In order to receive individual allocations, each state must implement a comprehensive engagement effort that seeks input from residents and incorporates that input into a State Plan. The more input, feedback, and involvement from the residents of the state, the more likely each state is to maximize the dollars they receive from the federal government that will lead to deploying broadband infrastructure and establishing digital equity. This could mean investment (or not) in your communities.
The California Department of Technology is developing the state’s digital equity portion of the state plan that will determine how much of the $62 billion will be allocated to California. Part of their community engagement effort in development of the state plan involves distribution and participation in a brief (10 minutes), anonymous survey by at least 250 residents from each rural county. In the case of Siskiyou County, 3 surveys have been received!
Do your part to make sure broadband internet is available to all!
